React Server Component is a new architecture introduced by the React team in version 18 which was quickly embraced by Next.js.
The architecture introduces a new way of creating React components, splitting them into two types:

• Server components
• Client components

React Server Components Contd.

Server Components

• In Next.js, all components are Server components by default
• They have the ability to run tasks like reading files or fetching data from a database
• However, they don't have the ability to use hooks or handle user interactions

Client Components

• To create a Client component, it's necessary to add "use client" at the top of the component file
• Client components can't perform tasks like reading files, but they have the ability to use hooks and manage interactions
